[00:00:00]  So it's been a very rampant problem for New Mexico agriculture.
[00:00:05]  And I say agriculture because there's multiple phases, not just the livestock industry that rely on that land.
[00:00:13]  New Mexico is largely marginal land.
[00:00:17]  It's not suited for a plow.
[00:00:18]  It doesn't have irrigation.
[00:00:20]  So grazing it is the best use Grazing, recreation, but recreation and grazing can go hand in hand.
[00:00:29]  So some of the 30 by 30 stuff is actually trying to take the grazing out as a multi-use purpose.
[00:00:37]  What we see is our tax bases being deplenished in our rural communities because you take the cattle away, you take the tax away.
